Business barometer: Wates comes second, thanks to schools, shops and housing work
Four contracts from the Royal School of Military Engineering propelled Carillion to the top of the leader board in September. The jobs, which were worth a combined 拢259.5m, included barracks at Chatham in Kent (拢61m), Minley in Surrey (拢91.3m) and Bicester in Oxfordshire (拢77.2m). The support services juggernaut also won a 拢57.3m job to provide student accommodation for Aston University in Birmingham.
Education proved a fruitful sector for contractors, and second-placed Wates picked up a 拢45m deal with Canterbury college in Kent. It also won a 拢42.6m commercial deal in Winnersh, Berkshire, for property group Segro and a 拢17.5m residential job in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.
The good news was that the total number of jobs won by the top 30 contractors was 342, the same as in September 2007. The bad news was that their total value was 拢1.42bn, which was 拢606m down on this time last year.
In third place was Morgan Sindall with wins that included a 拢44.2m college scheme for Devon council in Bideford and a 拢20.2m prison job in Perth, Scotland.
The top five was completed by Kier and Balfour Beatty with 33 and 50 wins apiece. Balfour Beatty鈥檚 haul included the 拢23m South Bristol Skills Academy.
Sixth spot was taken by Laing O鈥橰ourke, which won a 拢70m mixed-use job in Blackfriars, London. It also held off Balfour Beatty at the top of the annual rolling leader board with 37 wins worth 拢4.17bn.
ISG came in seventh, with a total of 33 jobs that included a 拢15m deal for Standard Bank in London. Following close behind was Rok, whose wins included a 拢40m housing deal in Rochdale. In ninth place was the contractor formerly known as HBG. The newly-christened BAM UK won four jobs that included a 拢25m deal for the Finzels Reach office and retail scheme in Bristol.
Norwest Holst completed the top 10 with nine jobs that included a 拢16.2m deal for Penine Acute Hospitals in Oldham.
